The Truth is out There
Stephen E. Braude is one of the few mainstream academics applying his intellectual
training to questions that many would regard at best as impossible to answer, and at
worst absolutely ridiculous: Do psychic readings phenomena exist? Are mediums and ghosts
real? Can people move objects with their minds or predict the future? A professor of
philosophy at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, Braude is a past
president of the Parapsychological Association, an organization that gathers
academics and others interested in phenomena like extra-sensory perception (ESP) and
psychokinesis, and he has published a series of books with well-known academic
presses on such topics. In this article, the author describes the life and works of
Braude. The author also describes how Braude embraced the study of paranormal after
experiencing it with his friends.
